[ Documenting Regan Lassiter and Othello Allemeade ’s arrival in Cambria ]

They would wait until two nights after the troops’ arrival to arrive in Cambria to portal to their new destination. There was still plenty of chaos to use as cover; @warren had been instructed to ready a private room for Regan and her friend Bellatrix Vanderlin. She was a low-level soldier who had been approached for the task of toenail-donation and had happily obliged. The reason Regan had gone to Aldrich Abbott had been to seek a recommendation for a candidate, but clearly the situation had deteriorated so she sought someone out herself. Was Bellatrix the most skilled soldier? No. But as a commoner she'd worked long hours of manual labor; she was tall, broad, and as strong as a horse. Everything Othello needed to be. He would still be wearing his collar, which he would take care to cover with a scarf and cloack hen it was necessary for him to be outside. Othello would remain in their private room during the day, keeping quiet and a very, very low profile. 

Warren was instructed to not speak at all about Regan and Othello’s mission; a few would be told that the King’s Huntsman was arriving in Cambria to ensure the transition of troops went smoothly. The fact that Odina Ellis would be replacing Isolde as governor was not being yet advertised for public Cambrian consumption.

According to Norah’s reports—which had been confirmed with a few others who had spoken to ones that had received brandings—the “Priestess” had all but publicly declared herself guilty. That was the thing about sending a message, Regan supposed. It had to be done far and wide; if it wasn’t there was no point in having a message at all. Even if it wasn’t Isolde directly, it seemed clear it had been at her direction. Even so, Regan and her "assistant" would spend the next day discreetly confirming those suspicions.

Besides, labeling Isolde the guilty party killed two birds with one stone: it removed a problematic governor to make way for installing another. With full and unfettered access to the material and potion stores, Regan and Othello were well outfitted for their mission:
